The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people". In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials than in providing a quality education for their students." The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an" integrated core" of common learning. Such a core would introduce students "to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus."
Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty, the Carnigie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed: "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most." Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be
granted tenure, promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that "There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications." [br] By saying that" in too many academic fields, the work has no context" (Lines 4, Para. 1) the author means that the teaching in these areas______.
选项
A、ignores the actual situation
B、is not based on the fight perspective
C、only focuses on an integrated core of common learning
D、gives priority to the cultivation of a global vision among students
答案
B
解析
此题考查根据上卜文来理解词义及句意。在第一段第四句中,the work has no context后面使用了分号,由这一标点符号我们得知分号前后二个分句的意义是相似的,所以要理解the work has no context这一句子,后半句就提供了帮助。仔细分析后半句,我们就可推断B项是答案。C项中focus on an integrated core of common learning与原来第一段倒数第二句不符。D项中give priority to与第一段第二句中fail to相矛盾。
